An Ohio sheriff has pulled the concealed weapons permit of a man arrested in North Carolina who authorities say wanted to see the president while carrying a gun.

Coshocton County Sheriff Tim Rogers said Tuesday he sent a notice of suspension to Joseph Sean McVey, informing him he was suspending McVey’s concealed carry handgun license.

Rogers cited McVey’s arrest in North Carolina Sunday on a misdemeanor charge of going armed in terror of the public.

A sheriff’s office report from January released to The Associated Press indicates McVey had a permit to carry a .40-caliber handgun.

McVey, whose mother lives in Asheville, N.C., was being held under a $100,000 secured bond for the misdemeanor charge.
